Covering a per-existing condition is not insurance. It is akin to selling fire insurance after the hose has already caught fire.

RE :”The states could impose some of these incentives, too, and they could become a future lobbying battleground. But right now, the insurers are focused on persuading the Department of Health and Human Services to add them on its own. “

I can see why they need these but does the passed bill allow additional fines, really a increase in the fine by HSS without a change in law?

Silly insurance companies. They just don’t get it.
It’s just about time for them to go away now.

That's why insurance companies are telling the administration the mandate won't be enough for the first two years. They want more incentives - such as a late enrollment fee - to get healthy people to sign up quickly. Without getting the healthy folks in, the fear is that everyone's health insurance premiums could shoot through the roof when all those sick people get their coverage.

The purpose of Obamacare is not to get everyone on insurance, but rather to make private medical insurance completely inviable as a business thus "requiring" the government step in as the sole source for medical payments.

It's about control, not medical care.

Mandate plus- is that the same as being anally raped with a gratuitous reach around?

then : we have to pass it before we find out what’s in it.

now : we have to enact it before we find out what’s in it.

soon : we will have to pay for it before we find out what’s in it.

Is there any way I can opt out of this Obamakare Medicare nightmare? If it’s going to finance abortion, I don’t want it.

I know I can’t stop them from taking what they want to out of my check; but I don’t want to participate in their Let’s Play Doctor game. I’ll pay cash for my own once a year visit to the Nurse Practitioner.

** only $95 when they start in 2014, much less than it costs to buy insurance.**

I know of a medical insurance that only costs $99 a month. Don’t believe this Obamacare nonsense.

If you want to know what it is, you will have to FReepmail me.

Basic coverage only, not vision and dental.

With vision and dental — it is only $138 a month.

Millions won’t pay the fine or get insurance, creating the need for an IRS Gulag. http://www.futurnamics.com/gulag.php

Corporate government: the alliance and combination of socialist business and socialist government. Who would have guessed? Captain obvious, maybe?
